USO Stats/Info

[kgilchri]

Hello everyone:

I am currently working on a marketing paper, using USO as my focus. Does anyone know where I might find some marketing information, attendance figures, and other useful stats for USO? I want to compare USO w/ Disney so if anyone knows of any good websites w/ this focus, I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Thanks everyone, and have a GREAT week

Kirsten

The parks are notorious for not releasing attendance figures. You may want to try several websites such as:
Themeparkinsider.com
Thrillride.com
Amusement weekly (?)
Themeparks.com, just a few.

I believe USF averages 14 million, IOA 6-8 million, EPCOT 8-10, MK -?, AK - ?, MGM - ?

I can only find some attendance and revenue for up to 2003.

This gives a little information on 2004:

But this seemed to have the most information although it includes Universal Hollywoood not just USO:

NBC Universal is the new kid on the media block. Created in 2004 through the combination of NBC and Vivendi Universal 's entertainment assets, the company owns a slew of media properties. Its television assets include the #2 TV network NBC, Spanish language network Telemundo, cable channels Bravo and USA Network, and production house NBC Universal Television. NBC Universal produces movies through Universal Pictures and Focus, and its Universal Parks & Resorts is one of the world's largest theme park operators. After French utility Vivendi's plan to transform itself into a media firm bombed, it sold the entertainment holdings to NBC parent General Electric. GE owns 80% of NBC Universal, Vivendi owns the rest.
